The Dress

"A gown for the bride-to-be seeking sheer romance.

Donovan, by Wear Your Love

Our Donovan gown is both classic and fresh. A completely bohemian off-the-shoulder design is complimented by hand cut lace edging for that free-spirited feel. The front bodice is lined in nude to offer the most visibility of the unique embroidered cotton floral lace. The back of the bodice features 2 satin button and stretch loop closures for an easy fit. The lace embellished keyhole opening adds just enough wow-factor to the back, while still embracing that feminine nonchalance we hold so dear. The Donovan skirt is created with an organic cotton lining, a layer of ultra luxurious silk chiffon, and a top layer of beautifully soft English tulle. The skirt comes to life with movement, and is a gorgeous choice for open-air or indoor ceremonies." (Wear Your Love XO)

I purchased this dress for my July 2019 wedding and had it custom made to suit my measurements. This dress is stunning and absolutely perfect condition and never worn. The only reason I am not wearing it on my wedding day is I didn't feel comfortable in the lack of breast support in the dress. While I loved the off the shoulder look, I felt like I was 'falling out' a bit too much.

The dress has a natural lining underneath- exactly like the model dress in the photos.

The train of the dress is 'sweep' train- a little past floor length.

This dress is NO LONGER MADE by Wear Your Love- this is the last Donovan dress they ever made.

It is incredibly light and airy- it would be perfect for a destination wedding or outdoor ceremony.

The skirt has incredible 'twirl factor' when you spin and the lace is incredibly unique.

No slip would be needed underneath this dress.

The measurements I have included are my own measurements which I sent to the designer when they made me the dress. However, the dress is VERY FLEXIBLE fabric and could fit a range of sizes bigger and smaller than my size.

Honestly, I am sad to see this dress go / sad it didn't quite fit- but I know whoever gets it next is the luckiest bride in the world!

Here is a link to the Wear Your Love XO site- the Donovan dress is no longer there because it is no longer made, but this way you can get a sense of the style of the designer. (https://wearyourlovexo.com/collections/wedding-dresses)
